The Amiga 2000, or A2000, is a personal computer released by Commodore in March
1987. IIt was introduced as a "big box" expandable variant of the Amiga 1000 but
quickly redesigned to share most of its electronic components with the contemporary Amiga 500
for cost reduction. Expansion capabilities include two 3.5" drive bays (one of which is used
by the included floppy drive) and one 5.25" bay that can be used by a 5.25" floppy drive (for
IBM PC compatibility), a hard drive, or CD-ROM once they became available.
The Amiga 2000 is the first Amiga model that allows expansion cards to be added internally.
SCSI host adapters, memory cards, CPU cards, network cards, graphics cards, serial port
cards, and PC compatibility cards were available, and multiple expansions can be used
simultaneously without requiring an expansion cage like the Amiga 1000 does. Not only does
the Amiga 2000 include five Zorro II card slots, the motherboard also has four PC ISA slots,
two of which are inline with Zorro II slots for use with the A2088 bridgeboard, which adds
IBM PC XT compatibility to the A2000.
The Amiga 2000 was the most versatile and expandable Amiga computer until the Amiga 3000T was
introduced four years later.

Notes:
++++++
I purchased this computer at a yard sale around 1998/1999. I never used an Amiga back in
the day, but have fond memories of reading early Computer Gaming Magazines and always being
amazed (and dismayed) that the screen shots of the game were almost always taken from an
Amiga. Most of the upgrades I've made have been to modernize it in the sense of making it a
'usable' computer to mess around with, but not trying to make it a modern computer.
